Including topics such as recognising a stroke or pneumothorax, fainting (syncope), head injuries, diabetes and hypoglycaemia, managing spinal injuries in an emergency situation and much more.

The course consists of illustrated step by step directions, flow charts, diagrams, videos and test yourself sections fully compatible with all computers and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and print your Certificate on completion. The RCC first Aid and 3 hours verifiable CPD for chiropractors course is equivalent to 3 hours of verifiable CPD and you will have continuous access to the course for 12 months. This course fulfils the criteria for Appointed Person first aid training, however a more comprehensive practical course is required in order to be a full First Aider.

This training does not seek to replace a practical first aid course and practical training is strongly recommended in order to prepare fully for medical emergencies and to experience the force required for CPR and learn exactly how to roll someone into the recovery position and other practical skills. 

It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect serious illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.

The author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the course, however this course is merely a guide and the author does not accept any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracies or for any mistreatment or misdiagnosis of any person, however caused.

The course material has been written by Emma Hammett, qualified nurse, first aid trainer and founder of First Aid for Life in conjunction with other medical and first aid professionals. If you have any queries concerning this course, please contact emma@firstaidforlife.org.uk
